1. Iris species nova - Starweaver's Gems from Earth and Sky

388. Geranium transversale ‘LACINIATA’
Very beautiful and unusual form of this wonderful species with leaves having only 4-6
narrowly linear entire lobes which give a plant very delicate airy appearance. Unusual
and showy. Naturally small tubers. Collected at Bashkizilsai, Uzbekistan (ARJA-9656). 5.00
389. Geranium transversale ‘ROSEA’
This is much brighter colour form with distinctly pink flowers of this widespread species
spotted out between thousands of trivial purple colour forms at Korzhantau range,
E of Tashkent. 10.00
390. Geranium tuberosum BATM-324
Originally it was collected under name “macrostylum”. I like this one for the excellent
shape of leaves which attracted attention in wild and were the reason of its collecting.
From Kisidagi gec. in Turkey. 5.00
HYACINTHUS
391. Hyacinthus chionophylus
Flowers are blue or slightly lilac toned, very sweetly scented. Not very difficult to
grow and always surprises by its elegance comparing with fat spikes of garden cultivars.
Very few. From Ziyaretpesi gec. in Turkey. 15.00
392. Hyacinthus litwinowii
Marvellous wild hyacinth from vicinity of Arvaz in Kopet-Dag mountains, S. Turkmenistan
with large spike of rather small violet-blue flowers in rosette of wide leaves.
I successfully grow it on outside beds providing good drainage and annual lifting to
ensure hot rest. Very few available. 25.00
393. Hyacinthus orientalis
Another wild hyacinth regarded as ancestor of garden hyacinths. Up to 12 waxy bells NEW
on 20 cm long stems in soft celestial blue with heavenly scent. Very rarely cultivated.
From Gaziantep, Turkey.

IRIS
JUNO (SCORPIRIS) SPECIES
394. Iris albomarginata
I offer true species collected in locus classicus. Flowers light blue with white blotch
but quite variable on 10 to 25 cm long stem. Under this name II. graeberiana, vicaria
or zenaidae usually are offered. 20.00
395. Iris x albomarginata ‘MOONLIGHT’
I’m multiplying my plants from seeds but many of them are pollinated by bees and some- NEW
times very beautiful hybrids appear. This one belongs to such and I was pleasantly surprised
when such beauty appeared between my I. albomarginata seedlings. I suppose that
some form of bucharica or orchioides was involved in its parentage. Flowers are nicely
pale yellow with greyish green large blotch on darker yellow falls. Height around 30 cm.

396. Iris aucheri from Bahce Koyu, Turkey
This iris was collected during BATM expedition near vil. Bahce Koyu, it is good
increaser, vigorous and variably blue shaded but rarely blooms with me as usually
start growing in winter and are damaged by frost. Must be much easier in districts with
a something milder winter. 5.00
397. Iris aucheri ‘SNOWWHITE’
This clone was originally selected from plants found at Leylek Station in S. Turkey by the NEW
Henrik Zetterlund & Co. There are several white clones selected but this one belongs to the
best forming up to 70 cm tall stems and up to 8 glistening white flowers with only minor
pale yellow toned ridge on large falls. Not difficult, but still very rarely obtainable. 12.00
